He played rugby union for Devon, and in 1906 was to play the the [[South African]]s in front of 20,000 fans at the Plymouth County ground. However, tourists had belatedly noticed Peters' colour and were seething at playing with a black man. Initially, they refused to play but eventually the South African High Commissioner , who feared a riot if the game was cancelled, persuaded the team to play.

On [[17 March]], [[1907]], Peters played for England against [[Scotland]]. [[The Sportsman]] commented that the "dusky Plymouth man did many good things, especially in passing." However, The [[Yorkshire Post]] pointed out, "his selection is by no means popular on racial grounds".
